Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Shen Yuan did not expect that this off-track main quest could still bring unexpected rewards.

The arrival of major sects for the Dao Discussion Conference, combined with the involvement of the Mingquan Turtle Minister, had pushed the main quest up a level.

The all-sect martial competition appeared to be a much higher level than the sect Great Competition, which satisfied Shen Yuan.

“If the scale of the Dao Discussion Conference were to be enlarged, inviting more small grotto heavens, or even the 10 Great Grotto Heavens, would it offer higher rewards?”

Thinking about this, Shen Yuan’s eyes glowed slightly as if he had found another way to take advantage of the Artificial Intelligence System.

Setting aside these thoughts for a moment, Shen Yuan focused his gaze on the final reward of the all-sect martial competition.

He had already obtained the “Great Void Spirit-refining Technique” during the sect Great Competition, so he was not in a rush to study it.

Shen Yuan had promised Gong Buyu that he would teach her the “Great Void Spirit-refining Technique” once she achieved Yin God spiritual status.

Currently, Gong Buyu’s Divine Sense was only in the early stages of transformation toward achieving Yin God status.

The Spirit Energy Tidal Surge in the world was yet to reach the level that can sustain the manifestation of a transcendental being. Therefore, Shen Yuan had enough time to study the “Great Void Spirit-Refining Technique” and later transmit it to Gong Buyu.

What caught his attention more was the last reward mentioned in the system prompt.

“Heaven’s Decree Secret Order?”

Searching through the relevant information he knew, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

In the information he knew, there didn’t seem to be anything related to the Heaven’s Decree Secret Order.

Although the functionalities of the Artificial Intelligence System were problematic, the rewards it provided were invariably top-notch.

Given the importance of the all-sect martial competition, Shen Yuan didn’t believe the system would provide a mediocre reward.

“It seems I’ll have to search thoroughly in the Electronic Scripture Depository once I get back.”

Having closed the system interface, Shen Yuan didn’t opt to claim the Heaven’s Decree Secret Order. Instead, he turned his attention to the matter at hand.

The overall trend of the Dao Discussion Conference was set. Gong Buyu, who emerged suddenly, had suppressed all the Qi-training prodigies. Even Shen Yuan intervened to kill the Mingquan Turtle Minister to settle things down.

At the Dao Discussion Conference, whether it was the Imperial Astronomical Bureau or all the major sects, they were both utterly convinced by the master and disciple duo.

The Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary on the stage gazed at Gong Buyu who stood in mid-air, various thoughts running in his mind.

With a silent grit of his teeth, the Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary stepped forwards. He bowed his hands in the direction of Gong Buyu and the Darkness-Light Sword, saying:

“The original intention of this Dao Discussion Conference was a competition between the Sect Master and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau for control over the conference affairs.”

“Firstly, the immortal lady suppressed various Qi-training cultivators. Then, her master intervened to exterminate the Spirit-transmuting Great Demon. Such cultivation and

Divine Skills are truly admirable.”

“Representing the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, I propose that the immortal lady take charge and supervise the sects’ Dao discussions. Should there be any disputes, the noncompliant party will

be punished by the Dao Discussion Conference.”

“The Imperial Astronomical Bureau is willing to be the executor, acting upon the orders of the immortal lady!”

The Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary’s words took everyone aback.

Willing to have Gong Buyu preside over the Dao Discussion Conference was essentially the Imperial Astronomical Bureau voluntarily handing over the control of the conference to her.

Whether it was the initiation of the Dao Discussion Conference or the attendance of the sects, it was largely due to the influence of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.

There’s no doubt that for the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, it would be a significant blow if they didn’t gain control over the Dao Discussion Conference, considering the vast resources they expended on it.

At first glance, the action of the Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary appears irrational.

However, to the representatives of the Primal Chaos Tower’s major sects, they recognized the brilliance behind this move.

The Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary and the White Tiger Esteemed Emissary weren’t able to defeat the prodigal cultivators from all four Grotto Heavens. Even if they force their way through the conference, they would generate disputes and possibly even have to suffer for it.

By putting Gong Buyu in the front, claiming that she should control the conference, there would be no objections. After all, all six of the prodigal cultivators were defeated by Gong Buyu. No one would dare refute this decision.

Under these circumstances, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, appearing as if at the disposal of Gong Buyu, can extend its influence over the conference under Gong Buyu’s name.

All power entities could perceive that the immortal lady’s master behind Gong Buyu had no intention of meddling in the conference affairs. He seemed to consider this conference more as a trial

for Gong Buyu’s growth.

As a prodigy, Gong Buyu wouldn’t be preoccupied with the mundane world. Even though the Imperial Astronomical Bureau voluntarily gave up its authority, she likely wouldn’t heed it. Thus, the actual control of the conference would still fall into the hands of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.

Stepping back further, even if Gong Buyu genuinely wished to get involved in the conference affairs, she would need to rely on the Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s power to control the sects.

To be able to affiliate a prodigy of boundless potential to the Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s situation through a mere Dao Discussion Conference. This was certainly a good bargain no matter which way you looked at it.

Upon thinking this, the representatives of the major sects began to look at the Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary differently.

Previously, everyone knew that the Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary was taken advantage of by Sun Lanyu using the power of River Ji Dragon Palace. They didn’t think much of this obscure emissary.

But seeing how things were, the previous setback of the Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary was not due to his incompetence. After all, the power of the River Ji Dragon Palace was simply too formidable to be ignored.
